Exploiting the Fruitfly, <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>, to Identify the Molecular Basis of Cryptochrome-Dependent Magnetosensitivity

The flavoprotein CRYPTOCHROME (CRY) is now generally believed to be a magnetosensor, providing geomagnetic information via a quantum effect on a light-initiated radical pair reaction. Whilst there is considerable physical and behavioural data to support this view, the precise molecular basis of anim...
